kernel-doc.rst has two 1st level section titles of "Writing
kernel-doc comments" and "Including kernel-doc comments".
Therefore, rather than using the first one, put a meta title
of "Kernel-doc comments" for the title of the resulting HTML
page by using the "title" directive.

With kernel releases v5.18 and later, if you have Inkscape, images
embedded in PDF documents are of vector graphics, not the raster
images as are the case with pre-v5.18 releases.
Even with pre-5.18 releases, having Inkscape would improve images
converted from some of SVG files which are not fully covered by the
limited capability of rsvg-convert(1) [1].
Add a footnote mentioning the expected improvements of such images.

Instead of having RTD as an almost mandatory theme, allow the
user to select other themes via DOCS_THEME environment var.
There's a catch, though: as the current theme override logic is
dependent of the RTD theme, we need to move the code which
adds the CSS overrides to be inside the RTD theme logic.

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
- Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and
userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon);
- The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select
drivers and their dependencies;
- The testing drivers now has a separate directory;
- added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP;
- The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with
4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell
phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and
making it in good shape.
- Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs;
- Added an ov2740 image sensor driver;
- The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added
support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog
standards;
- Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and
V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera
is located at the device;
- VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices;
- Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups.

I found the layout confusing with multiple introductions to what
kernel-doc is and how to use it.
I made the following changes:
- Moved the 'Including kernel-doc comments' section to the end of
the document -- we should explain what it *is* before we explain
how to integrate it.
- Moved the 'Recommendations' subsection to the top. We want people
to know what to document before telling them how to do it.
- Rewrite the 'Writing kernel-doc comments' section, integrating
the 'Recommendations' subsection and a paragraph from 'How to format
kernel-doc comments'.
- Remove the paragraph about the kernel-doc script; we're supposed to
be teaching people how to use punctuation to write pretty documentation,
not documenting the build tooling.
- Split the 'Parameters and member arguments' section into 'Function
parameters' and 'Members'. Structure members are not commonly
referred to as arguments.
- Integrate the 'private:' and 'public:' tag descriptions into the
'Members' section.
- Move the 'In-line member documentation comments' subsection up to be
